Note: Hardware varies depending on part number ordered/received.
Step 1: Remove your factory or aftermarket rear parts from the vehicle. (Save hardware, some will be
re-used.) This includes your fender flares, gas cap, gas cap plastic bezel, rear taillights
(You can reach the wire loom plug by reaching up through the underside of each rear corner)
license plate bracket, tire stop (YJ,CJ7 only), plastic tailgate hinge covers (late TJ’s only) etc.
(If your CJ has rear side turn signals, you will not be able to re-use them)
Step 2: Make sure vehicle is clean. Place masking tape along the top edge of the tub and down along the
the back of the door opening. (Fig A) Start by positioning the driver side corner on vehicle by lining
up the pre-drilled holes on the corner with the factory holes on the body. (Taillight, gas door, flare,
ect. holes.) Use some kind of clamp (Vice, or C-clamp) to hold corner on vehicle. (Fig A)

Step 3: Make sure guard is in correct position and the top edge is parallel with the body tub (Fig B) and the
front door cut out is even on back edge of door. (Fig A)
Step 4: With the guard tight against the body and holes lined up, use a marker or scribe to mark the holes.
(Fig B)
Step 5: Carefully remove guard from vehicle. NOTE: Be sure to check backside of all hole locations
for wires or other obstructions. Center punch all marked holes. Drill all holes using a 7/16”
drill bit. Make sure to clean off any burrs after drilling, we also recommend using touch up paint or
a clear coat to go over any exposed metal. (Fig C) On late model TJ’s an access hole may be needed
to install washer and nut on the front lower hole on the corner guard. (Fig H,I) This can be achieved
using a 1” hole saw/bit or something similar.
Install guard using the 3/8”
counter sunk bolts.
(Fig C) (Fig D)
Use the 3 ½” long bolt for the lower
bottom corner hole. You will need to
drill through the inner pocket wall also.
Use the factory
hardware where the
holes line up with
the OEM nut inserts
